@@TheKitchenerLeslie He didn't rip him off. He took an idea of his and eventually ended up helping Louis out. But Louis CK wasn't making "money" off that thing specifically.
I give Leary an A+ for this appearance. It was fantastic. He can come on a show and talk politics without really giving away his politics. He says he's for Kerry because Kerry likes firefighters and hockey and will build a hockey rink at the White House so Leary can play. Who can argue with that? He was funny. When was the last time anyone saw Dennis Leary in anything?
My friends and I had No Cure For Cancer memorized back in middle/high school. We would quote it back and forth constantly. Even though it’s really disappointing that he lifted a bunch of jokes from Hicks, it’s still a damn good comedy album.
Lost all respect? I'm sure he's torn up about it. 😂 He has charities that support firefighters, but you "lost all respect" over a handful of jokes that resemble those of a dead guy? Gtfoh
P.s. I respect the long suffering history of Red Sox fans. I'm a 41 y.o., generational Maple Leafs fan. Danny Jansen is a good one. I was sad to see him go. I hope you guys win the World Series.
If anything Leary saved the jokes, because jokes about how much you like to smoke and how stupid people are who say you shouldn’t smoke aren’t as funny if it ends up killing you soon after. But with Leary it’s still funny.
@@keefriff99 Yes, very different and he knows it. Also, with Leary jokes about how much he liked to smoke and how stupid people are who say you shouldn’t, are still funny because it didn’t end up killing him.
You've got to respect Denis for always being so straight-forward on talk shows!
How about him ripping off Louis CK?
Bill Hicks
Gotta respect his ability to stand on the shoulders of giants and rip off their intellectual material at every turn.
@@TheKitchenerLeslie He didn't rip him off. He took an idea of his and eventually ended up helping Louis out. But Louis CK wasn't making "money" off that thing specifically.
@@Optim40 He didn't ask Louis if he could use his routine. That's theft.
I remember "Rescue Me"! It was wonderful!! I loved it!!
Was such a great series. Excellent writing acting. Up there with the wire, deadwood, Rome, Ray Donovan
I guess Bill Hicks didn’t like the Olympics
I know he liked smoking just a little too much
🥁
Both Bobby Orr and Paul Shaffer are Canadian.. 🇨🇦
Bobby Orr is Canadian. 🇨🇦
'Rescue Me' was premium tv.
The Red Sox comments did not age well. Rescue Me was a really good series.
Well you can’t really blame him for thinking that the curse was real, especially after how the 2003 season ended…Aaron bleepin’ Boone!
I’d like to hear Leary’s take on break dancing in the Olympics
All I can think of when Denis is talking about pitching is Conan's old-timey baseball remote 🤣
Bill Hicks is more blonde than I remember
Boston did break the curse, Denis jinxed the curse 😝
I wonder if Bill Hicks had big problems with the Olympics in 1992? 😂
What we didn’t know yet then was that at that point he had other problems going on 🥁
I give Leary an A+ for this appearance. It was fantastic. He can come on a show and talk politics without really giving away his politics. He says he's for Kerry because Kerry likes firefighters and hockey and will build a hockey rink at the White House so Leary can play. Who can argue with that? He was funny.
When was the last time anyone saw Dennis Leary in anything?
Ummm no..your first point is all that matters. Keep it cool bro...keep it cool.
@@Optim40 What?! "Keep it cool"? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Wtf does that mean? I think I know what you've been smoking.
It appears that Dennis is the one that broke the curse. Once he accepted the curse, it was broken.
Rescue Me was such a good show. Denis Leary in his prime
I Hear Rescue Me is Very Good About Firefighters
Denis's career in standup ended in 1994. We miss you Bill!
No he had “Lock ‘N Load” in ‘97
Gah, Rescue Me was such a good show.
Why are all the videos low resolution?
his hometown being worcester, mass.
For those of you who don't know, most of those letters are silient - it's Woostah.
Denis is the kinda guy I’d love to be near lol I met John Kerry too when he came here to Fl to campaign - he’s short but nice
John Kerry is short? I think John carries about 6' 4". If John Kerry is short, who or what do you call tall?
The Red Sox won the world series in 2004 lol.
I was so happy
I like his ideas for presidential elections
They had some model, Giselle something, there and she hit the back stop 10:23
WOW, where has he been?? havent seen or heard about him in long time, forgot about him.
Agree. Was just thinking that.
After Bill Hicks died Dennis didn't have anyone whose material he could steal.
Lost every bit of respect I had for Leary after finding out he’d stolen most of No Cure from Bill Hicks.
My friends and I had No Cure For Cancer memorized back in middle/high school. We would quote it back and forth constantly.
Even though it’s really disappointing that he lifted a bunch of jokes from Hicks, it’s still a damn good comedy album.
@@keefriff99 maybe it's telling that I liked that album so much in 5th grade but we loved that damn thing.
Yeah, but Denis delivers it brilliantly. I've watched it a zillion times.
@@keefriff99 a bunch of jokes? Almost his entire act was ripped from Hicks. Where’s the rest of his stuff?
Lost all respect? I'm sure he's torn up about it. 😂 He has charities that support firefighters, but you "lost all respect" over a handful of jokes that resemble those of a dead guy? Gtfoh
I kind of want to see 4 guys boxing now. Maybe not as an Olympic event, but I bet it'd be entertaining.
Legend ❤
Couldn’t agree with him more. Breakdancing is going to be in the Olympics…that is NOT a sport
the 2004 Red Sox foggy oracle oh so leary
Hey look, it’s the guy who ripped off Bill Hicks.
Don’t forget about Louis CK!
@@BroHooks
I actually like Leary, but it was really disappointing when I found out about how much material he lifted from Hicks.
Who cares. Leary’s routines aged better because he himself aged better🍻
🥁
Always a fan of Denis Leary
Accurate.
Nice! Bobby Orr for president!🇨🇦
This was filmed in 2004 which is the year we broke the curse.
Greatest comeback in all of sports!
@@Andrew-Antioch-Kim
Indeed! That whole postseason was blissfully surreal for those of us in Red Sox Nation.
Do Phillies fans hate Toronto, ya think? I hope so.. Go Jays, in about five years.
P.s. I respect the long suffering history of Red Sox fans. I'm a 41 y.o., generational Maple Leafs fan. Danny Jansen is a good one. I was sad to see him go. I hope you guys win the World Series.
I was worried for a moment. I wasn't sure if Denis Leary or The Olympics had passed away.
It was the Olympics. They had a good run but died in 1992 when they let the NBA guys pretend they were "amateur athletes".
Bill Hicks definitely died
I was disappointed to find out he's still alive
This "man" stole from a dying man. Never forget.
He stole it before he knew the guy was dying
If anything Leary saved the jokes, because jokes about how much you like to smoke and how stupid people are who say you shouldn’t smoke aren’t as funny if it ends up killing you soon after. But with Leary it’s still funny.
I never knew who he was.. srry abt that.. but his acting in spiderman movie was awesome.
wow!
I liked that show.. .
Love that he raises lots of money for firefighters but he’s also an unrepentant joke thief.
Love Dennis Leary, say it like it is.
Right now everyone does.
Look up the video of the side by side comparison of Hicks act, vs. this fool.
We have. Leary’s still funny. And still alive.
🥁
Daryl Hall is not looking so good here.
1978?
The other problem Denis Leary has is he ripped off Bill Hicks’ entire persona and act.
I wouldn’t go that far. He certainly lifted a bunch of joke premises from Hicks, but his onstage persona was quite a bit different.
@@keefriff99
Yes, very different and he knows it.
Also, with Leary jokes about how much he liked to smoke and how stupid people are who say you shouldn’t, are still funny because it didn’t end up killing him.
Denis and Conan are cousins?
See folks all you do is be entertained when people talk like this. NOT offended like todays times.
What's Denis doing?
and where is the has been now?
And what Noble Prize have you won lately?
@@johnschlaefflin2100 I see you just missed out on winning the "Noble" Prize in spelling.
Well played Sir, well played. I was looking at my medal upside down to get the spelling.
Dennis won the "Noble" prize for joke stealing.
surprisingly funny this episode
RIP Denis
Willem Dafoe's twin brother is funny.
Denis is like Willem Dafoe in steroids :)
Stole “ I am an a hole”
Denis Leary RIP💔
We're not that lucky
Look at this guy with nothing funny to say.
I never understood the appeal of this guy.... I put him in the same boat with Dennis Miller.
